Tetsuya Imais arm fatigue scare, Cody Boltons struggles after injury, and an ailing vaibhav arora bullpen put the Astros pitching depth in crisis, despite sluggers Yordan jon krakauer Alvarez and Cam Smith powering the lineup. With seven straight losses and an MLB-worst 6.49 ERA, is it time to call up arms from Sugar Land or consider drastic changes?

Eric and Brett break down the Astros alarming pitching woes, Dana Browns enough depth optimism, and crucial lineup decisions. The show also reflects on the legacy of Scrap Iron Phil Garner, Astros legend and 2005 World Series manager, following his passing.
